    I was wondering what all is a must to have on hand for reef tanks. I have a "first aid" kit for my freshwater in case someone gets sick or what ever. Is there anything specific that is good to keep on hand? Also what all test kits will I need? Thank you

    You will need test kits for Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, Phosphates, Carbonate hardness, calcium, and magnesium. A refractometer is good to have also...8)
